Below is a short description of the specification and a list of files.

Description

The OpenDocument specification defines an XML schema for office applications and its semantics. The schema is suitable for office documents, including text documents, spreadsheets, charts and graphical documents like drawings or presentations, but is not restricted to these kinds of documents. The schema provides high-level information suitable for editing documents. It defines suitable XML structures for office documents and is friendly to transformations using XSLT or similar XML-based tools.

Files

The file are available here:

1. The Committee Draft specification is available in OpenOffice.org XML file format and in PDF format. The committee draft contains three embedded Relax-NG schemas.
